In the middle of July, the twelfth year of Kangxi, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province.
The slave air is pressing down on the city, and the city is about to be destroyed!
The "slavish spirit" in Fuzhou City certainly came from Beijing.
Because Emperor Kangxi "opened the door to slaves and recruited slaves widely", he recruited more than 30,000 coated slave soldiers, and he also released 30,000 precious slaves and coated slaves for the Qing Dynasty's Green Camp.
For a time, among the provinces under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, there was really a slavish atmosphere! Anyone who has the opportunity to be a slave or a slave, everyone is rushing to be the first!
The quota is only 30,000, but there are so many green soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, and there are so many officials and scholars who want to be slaves but cannot, why don't we fight for it? Don’t you strive to be a slave and a slave?
And in the city of Fuzhou, ruled by Geng Jingzhong, a loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty, there is also an indescribable "slavery spirit" permeating the city!
Even under Geng Jingzhong's promotion, in this city, which was about to be invaded by the Ming army, the intensity of the slave spirit exceeded that of Beijing, the most virtuous capital of the Qing Dynasty.
Originally, the servants of Jingnan Palace were all of their own kind. They are not affiliated with the Eight Banners system, and are not the direct slaves of Emperor Kangxi and the Manchu nobles... This is a bit like "the slaves of slaves, not my slaves".
The servants of Jingfan were all the servants of Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan, and not the servants of Emperor Kangxi. In the early Qing Dynasty, the banner armies of Wu, Shang and Geng vassals, as well as the banner armies of Xushun Gongfu and Haicheng Gongfu, as well as the banner army commanders left by Kong Youde, king of Dingnan, all It belongs to such a situation.
These "minions of minions" are the core strength of each feudal clan! Historically, Emperor Kangxi's removal of vassal vassals, in addition to the removal of the three vassal kings, also meant the removal of these "subordinate slaves"... If he had not had this crooked idea, he would have allowed the subordinates to be subordinated. We are all regarded as the masters of the Eight Banners, and no one will follow the San Francisco King even if he wants to rebel!
However, Geng Jingzhong now led the fifteen "minions of minions" under the vassal, and jointly submitted a petition to Emperor Kangxi, requesting to join the coated minions army!
In other words, Geng Jingzhong had to voluntarily hand over his "subordinate slaves", and Geng Fan's "subordinate slaves" did not ask to become soldiers of the Eight Banners, but went down and were willing to serve as a cover for the Qing Dynasty. Minions!
Geng Fan's "subordinate slaves" are all bannermen, who are higher than the slaves of the slaves... But now they are willing to lower themselves to become slaves. This is really "eager to be a slave" , enough to impress Master Kangxi.
In addition to Geng Fan's "slaves" who were willing to serve as guards, the generals and soldiers of the Fujian Green Camp under Geng Jingzhong also initiated a joint petition at the same time. They also asked themselves to be slaves - some higher-ranking Green Camp officers asked to carry the flag, and the rest asked to be slaves.
In addition, civil servants on the ground in Fujian were also mobilized by Geng Jingzhong and Liu Bingzheng to join the vigorous "Please Become a Slave" movement. These officials are all qualified to submit to the MiZou (all officials in the Kangxi period can submit to the MiZou), so their "please be a slave" memorials are made in two copies, one jointly signed in the title book, and the other separately. Close fold. However, no matter which one was written, the words were sincere and full of servility.
For a time, the officialdom and military camps in Fuzhou were almost overwhelmed by this thick atmosphere of slavery!
However, the vast majority of people who are "already slaves" and "want to be slaves" never dream that their master, Geng Jingzhong, the third generation of glorious slaves in the Qing Dynasty, has a heart that does not want to be a slave but wants to be a master. Ambition!
Geng Jingzhong... doesn't want to be a slave!
Today, the heavily guarded Geng Wangzhuang finally welcomed a distinguished guest who would make Geng Jingzhong no longer a slave. This distinguished guest is Chen Yonghua, the envoy of King Zhengjing of Yanping in the Ming Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, the world is in chaos now. Wu Sangui has swept across the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan. On the first day of June, he crossed the Yangtze River and stationed in Jingzhou, Hubei Province. His troops were directed at Wuchang and Xiangyang. Moreover, although he raised his army according to Wei Zong's imperial edict, However, since the beginning of the army, he has not accepted the canonization of the king of Jianguo, nor does he need to name the king of Jianguo. Moreover, he has proclaimed himself President, Marshal of the Army of the World, and used the reign of Chongzhen... What he is thinking is probably a passer-by. Everyone knows it. As long as he can conquer Wuchang Mansion, which is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, he will be a Western Emperor.
Although the Ming Dynasty Supervisor Guoding Wang in Guangdong only covers one and a half provinces, Guangdong is a prosperous province after all, and it is connected to the vast land of the South China Sea. There is also the Ming Dynasty Zhengshuo to rely on. As long as it is managed carefully, Xu Tu Guangxi and Fujian can , there is still a Southern Emperor.
As for Xuanye, the emperor of Yi and Di in the north, although he was a Yi and Di, he was indeed a prince... Heroes like Wu Sangui suddenly rose up, and he was calmly contained between Jiang and Han. Moreover, he has recently opened the door to slaves and recruited slaves. What he did is obviously not a king who has subjugated his country. Although there is nothing that can be done about the Western Emperor Wu Sangui and the Southern Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in Guangdong, a Northern Emperor can still sit firmly.
Now among the four directions of southeast, northwest, and north, there are already Northern Emperor, Southern Emperor, and Western Emperor, leaving only the throne of the East vacant... So the king of my family ordered me to ask the prince: Is it interesting? "
Okay, southeast, northwest, four emperors! They all gathered together for a table of mahjong... This is because the emperor wants a table for each mahjong table!
Although Geng Jingzhong really wanted to be the emperor, he didn't expect that the emperor could hold a table of mahjong, so he didn't react and was stunned.
His military advisor Zuo Chunqiu reacted faster and asked: "Commander Chen, what do you mean by King Yanping? Does it mean that if my prince doesn't want to be the Eastern Emperor, he will get there first?"
What? Geng Jingzhong became anxious upon hearing this. Because he discovered that there are actually not many "one table of emperors". Moreover, Kangxi has already become the Northern Emperor, Wu Sangui is determined to be the Western Emperor, and Zhu Cijiong's Southern Emperor is also pretty sure. There is only one Dong Emperor left and no one has done it yet! If Zheng Jing snatched it away, what would he do?
"Who says I don't want to be Emperor Dong's?" Geng Jingzhong was afraid that Zheng Jing would steal from him, so he hurriedly stated his position without waiting for Chen Yonghua to speak.
"Oh, oh, oh..." Chen Yonghua nodded repeatedly, "That's good, that's good! If you want to do it, my prince, then my prince can rest assured."
"What worries does King Yanping have?" Zuo Chunqiu asked, "Whether my prince is the emperor or not, what does it have to do with him?"
Chen Yonghua smiled and said: "If King Jingnan can go one step further, then the world will be divided into four parts, and my king can safely become the vassal king of Fujian for the Ming Dynasty."
"Wait a minute," Geng Jingzhong shouted when he heard this, "Why does he still want to be the vassal king of Fujian? Fujian is my territory!"
Chen Yonghua smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you can only get one of Liangjiang and Fujian...and this one can only be Liangjiang, not Fujian."
"Why can't it be Fujian?" Geng Jingzhong asked stupidly.
Chen Yonghua smiled: "Because Prince Ding of the Ming Dynasty has appointed Yang Xiuqing, deputy military advisor of Youfu, to recruit envoys for Fujian, and will send troops to Fujian soon!"
As soon as he heard Yang Xiuqing's name, Geng Jingzhong felt a pain in his right leg!
Last time in Chaozhou, his right leg was broken by Yang Xiuqing's night attack... It took him several months to heal, so why did he have to call again?
Seeing the fear on Geng Jingzhong's face, Chen Yonghua also found it funny. This guy obviously can't fight, so why is he so ambitious?
Thinking of this, he took out a bag of whole sugar cubes weighing one kilogram and placed it on the coffee table next to him. Then he smiled and said to Geng Jingzhong: "My lord, you should know that the charge in Zhuge Shen Lei is made of Is it made from something? It's much better than using ordinary white sugar!
If the prince has figured it out, then the Yanping Palace can also supply a large amount of supplies to the prince to help him... I will take my leave for now, and we will talk about it after the prince and his advisers have discussed it! "
As he spoke, Chen Yonghua stood up, saluted Geng Jingzhong, then flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall in a swaggering manner.
Zuo Chunqiu stood up, walked over, picked up the sugar brick left by Chen Yonghua, and looked at it. He found that there were words on the oil paper wrapped outside the sugar brick, which read: Military white sugar, produced by Beichang, forbidden to eat, and the formula is confidential. .....
